Abstract
Abstract—In this paper, two basic switching cells, P-cell and Ncell, are presented to investigate the topological nature of power electronics circuits. Both cells consist of a switching device and a diode and are the basic building blocks for almost all power electronics circuits. The mirror relationship of the P-cell and Ncell will be revealed. This paper describes the two basic switching cells and shows how all dc-dc converters, voltage source inverters, current source inverters, and multilevel converters are constituted from the two basic cells. Through these two basic cells, great insights about the topology of all power electronics circuits can be obtained for the construction and decomposition of existing power electronic circuits. New power conversion circuits can now be easily derived and invented.
